E-signatures built for HR and people teams.
Offer letters, onboarding paperwork, and separation agreements — signed in minutes, free for you and the candidate or employee.
Who this is for
- An offer needs to go out and come back signed the same day, before a candidate takes a competing offer.
- Onboarding paperwork piles up on day one — policy acknowledgments, non-competes, remote work agreements — and chasing signatures by email is slow.
- A separation agreement needs a clean, timestamped signature on the way out, not a verbal handshake.
- Most HR e-sign tools are priced and bundled as part of a full HRIS suite — overkill for a small team just trying to get paperwork signed.
Why Docracy
Docracy is free for two-party signing — you and the candidate or employee — with no account required for them to sign. Start from an offer letter, employment agreement, onboarding paperwork, or separation agreement template, fill in the specifics, and send.
What this is not: Docracy doesn't verify a signer's identity or replace the in-person I-9 document inspection U.S. federal law requires for new hires — our I-9 template is a fillable form, not a substitute for that physical check. For background checks, benefits enrollment, or payroll integration, you'll still need dedicated HR software; Docracy just handles the signature.
